About
The character "猖" is structurally formed from the canine radical 犭 and the phonetic element 昌, a composition that originally linked it to bestial qualities, with its early usage tending toward descriptions of animalistic behavior. Over time, through consistent employment in literary contexts, its meaning specialized to convey notions of extreme unrestraint and violent disorder, which is evident in its enduring role within compounds such as "猖狂" for frenzied actions and "猖獗" for rampant phenomena. This character does not have a distinct traditional form that was later simplified, and while its graphic components have remained stable, its semantic emphasis shifted decisively from a literal association with animals to a metaphorical expression of reckless and wild excess.
